An innovation from Sofrigam: the flat-packed XXL Pallet Shipper

22 December 2014

You will
already be familiar with the first XXL Pallet Shipper, launched in 2012
and designed to fit air freight platforms. In 2015, we will be introducing a
collapsible XXL Pallet Shipper! This insulated shipping packaging solution satisfies all the
requirements of pharmaceutical laboratories!

The advantages of the collapsible
XXL Pallet Shipper

The result of months of research and development, this
new cold chain shipping container
will be the perfect answer to the demands of cold chain transport. As a
packaging solution, it is:

Inexpensive: XXL
Pallet Shippers will be supplied in flat pack form, enabling more
containers to be delivered in a given consignment while reducing the costs
of supplying production sites;

Lightweight and compact: because the XXL Pallet Shipper is supplied flat, 3 times as many
can be loaded onto a lorry compared with pre-assembled pallet boxes (48
boxes in flat pack form compared with 17 pre-assembled). Twice as many can
be carried on an air freight platform (8 flat boxes as against 4
pre-assembled);

Robust: this is
an essential criterion for an insulated shipper intended for carrying products many miles
throughout the world. It may be light in weight, but the Pallet Shipper is
solidly constructed;

Easy and quick to assemble: this is the only temperature-controlled shipping container on the market that can be assembled by just 1 person
in less than 5 minutes;

Highly efficient: it
is manufactured using one of the most efficient insulating materials (polyurethane)
and it is capable of withstanding any interruption to the cold chain for
up to 96 hours under conditions defined by AFNOR and for up to 144 hours
in conditions defined by ISTA 7E.

The flat-packed pallet box: the
solution that lowers the TCO

Every day, when dispatching millions of heat-sensitive
products around the world, laboratories are confronted by ever-more stringent regulations, increasingly large quantities to be transported, mounting logistical costs, the growing burden of
insurance schemes… the list is
almost endless!

The TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) is a widely-used
indicator for the purchase of insulated packaging solutions. 49% of the companies in the pharmaceuticals
industry are endeavouring to reduce the overall costs of cold chain
logistics. So the ideal answer is to choose a packaging solution which, while
guaranteeing a constant temperature, is also capable of:

optimising the volume of products
dispatched;

reducing transport costs;

saving preparation time.

This is an everyday challenge for the manufacturers of
insulated packaging solutions! The collapsible XXLPallet
Shipper is the effective response and solution to these requirements.
